ShelterFoam Geofoam
ShelterFoam Geofaom is an engineered, light weight geosynthetic fill material designed for superior strength and performance. Geofoam is approximately 1% the weight of soil and less than 10% the weight of other light weight fill alternatives. As a lightweight fill, ShelterFoam Geofoam greatly reduces the loads on adjacent and underlying soils and structures. Below are many of the applications used today. Our team engineers can help design a solution to meet your project specifications
ShelterFoam
Roof Insulation
Retaining Walls
Geofoam is used as backfill behind retaining walls to greatly reduce lateral pressures.
Lightweight Roads
Geofoam is used to replace heavy fill materials to reduce settlement.
Bridge Abutments
Geofoam is used to safely support highway loading without over-stressing the underlying soils and to reduce differential movement.
Plaza Decks
Geofoam is used to create topography and reduce loads on underlying structures and services.
Stadium Seating
Geofoam is used to form tiered seating in locations such as auditoriums, movie theaters, and gymnasiums.
Foundation Fill
Geofoam is used to reduce the load on underlying compressible soils to minimize settlement.
Utility Protection
Fill loading is reduced by using Geofoam instead of heavier fill materials.
Slope Stabilization
Geofoam is used for slope stabilization and improves slope stability.
Building Fill
Geofoam infill is simple to handle on site, making it easy to adjust building floor elevations.
